Chetopod

/ˈkeɪtəpɒd/ noun

Definition

An animal with bristle-like structures used for movement, such as marine worms that have tufts of hair-like projections along their bodies.

Etymology

From Greek 'chaeta' (bristle) and 'pous' (foot), the word literally means 'bristle-footed,' describing organisms with hair-like appendages used for locomotion and sensory functions.

Kelly Says

Polychaete worms, the most common chetopods, have thousands of tiny bristles called setae that they use like oars to swim and dig—it's like they invented swimming before fish did, and they're still doing it the same way 500 million years later.
